Last time I checked Collins lead the Skins on an amazing end of the season win streak last year that put the team into the playoffs. If memory serves a lot of people on this site said the team would be screwed if TC had to play any significant amount of time (some wanted him gone because they thought he stunk in preseason, he did, and so much for preseason being a predictor of anything) and as it turned out he was the player that salvaged the season.

I don't think that you can put that squarely on the shoulders of TC tho. I believe it was a total team effort. CP put the team on his back running the ball, and TC knew Saunder's offense better than JC so he could run it better. Wiht a new O being installed, I look for TC to struggle if placed in the same situation.

Of course every win (and loss) is a team effort but it was obvious that once TC came in the offense's tempo was much quicker because he could get the ball out on passes which opened things for CP's running. TC wasnt the sole reason for the run but he was absolutely the catalyst.

BTW, TC struggled mightily in preseason which is why IMO he wasnt the starter. It turns out he could run Saunders O better than JC but in preseason it didnt look that way.

My point is, to say that having TC come in for JC is a major downgrade at QB is completely false. The evidence just does not support that prediction.

And the last I checked, Collins was a Saunders hand picked guy who knows his offense, and as of today, Saunders offense is in St. Louis, but Collins is in Washington.
In short, what we saw from Collins last year, can very easily be a 1 time occurance.

I see '08 as something of a repeat of '07. I definitely spect Philly to be at the bottom again w/ either Dono or Westbrook hurt for a while, plus the Philly d won't be as good (Dawkins ain't the same since he got rocked last year). We'll be next and just squeak into the playoffs if we're lucky. The giants will be next primarily because of their freakishly awesome defense and the emergence of Eli as a true elite QB. The Cowpokes have too much talent not to own the division once again, but I believe their coaching structure/confusion continues to thwart a serious playoff run. So...

Pokes: 12-4
Gmen: 11-5 (maybe 10-6)
Skins: 9-7
Eagles 7-9 (maybe 8-8)

Every year the "experts" pick Dallas to win the NFC. Every year the "experts" are wrong. The "experts" say they have 13 probowlers on thier roster. Probowl doesn't mean S#!%! It's a stupid popularity contest. They have NO depth behind TO at wideout, Romo CHOKES in big games, they sign overrated players like Tank Johnson and Adam Jones, Roy Williams couldn't cover your grandma and they have a hack head coach! What makes people think they're even gonna win the division?!?!?!

What makes you think that anyone else will win the East?
You have an opinion on why the Cowboys should not win. How about an opinion on why anyone else will.

It really pains me to say it, but I think the Cowboys have a very good shot at winning the East, but as long as they lose to the Skins at home, I'll remain a happy gal.

yeah like dirtylandry said, they are 1 injury to TO or romo away from being a non-factor. that being said, if those 2 stay relatively healthy they will probably win the division. guess we'll have to wait and see.

NFC East:

1- eagles (10-6 if mcnabb stays healthy, he looked good beg of last year)
2- cowboys (10-6)
3 - skins (8-8 no playoffs, next year we should be on top)
4 - giants (7-9)

hard to not put the skins on top but unless our D steps up from a solid performance last year we remain a grind it out .500 team that needs a another spectacular push in the end to snag a wildcard spot. next year i anticipate high expectations around here.

go skins!

I think Garrett's offense was figured out, and there is no way they will be a top team like last year. They will be good, sure, but so won't all of us in the east. This seems to be a year that all 4 teams in the east have an equal shot at the division.

Becuase they(the Cowboys) think that only they can,ask the Giants if they care about the Cowboys 13 pro bowl players or who won the East?Anyone that doesn't believe that the East is wide open is a fool !

Not talking about who WON the east, I believe the thread was looking for who will WIN the East THIS YEAR.

Yup ,and it was an example of why the East is wide open and the Cowboys are not a lock ................no matter how many pro bowlers are on it,like last year.

its quite obvious u hate the Cowboys. could it be jealousy perhaps that we have a LOADED roster?
we will win the NFC East and i think its amusing u like to call my team the Cowpukes, Cowpokes, Cowpatties, etc, etc.
btw, get all your" hatred' out towards my 'Boys, u might feel better.

[BleedsBurgundy]

COWBOYS SUCK. No playoff wins since 1996. Call me when you win one when it matters.

The regular season records likely won't mean anything. The NFC Beast will get three teams in again. The skins will have gelled by then and make their run to Tampa.

Hail.
